Freddie Bartholomew. 05 the boy who is swept from the deck of a liner to be rescued by the Glou- cester crew of a fishing schooner, performs 3 role equal, if no: superior. to anything he has ever done in his distinguished young career.
Spencer Tracy scores as Manuel. the Portuguese fisherman, as do Lionel Barrymore as the picture-- sque Captain Disko, skipper cf the schooner. "We're Here" and Mer vyn Douglas as Freddie's father.
Just as Kipling, who wrote the story, knew and respected the sea, so has the picture caught and reflected its majestic moods and the beauty of calm and storm, sunlight and fog. The players, in- dividually and collectively, have grasped their respective parts with remarkable depth of under- standing.

A rumour has been in circulation since the World Jamboree, in Hol- land, that the Chlef Scout, Lord Baden-Powell, has been feeling the strain of life and that he intends to retire from Scouting activities. There is absolutely no founda- tion for this rumour. The Chief Scout is in excellent health and has a long list of Scouting engage- ments before him.
This winter he hopes to visit South Africa and Rhodesia, and in 1939 hopes to be present at a big Jamboree in New South Wales, Australia, and another in the West Indies, and at the World Rover Scout Moot to be held in Scotland in the summer of that year.
